TABLE 1 |
ESRT Configuration Table |
Array | Byte | Byte | ||
Field | Value | Length | Offset | Description |
Firmware | 4 | 0 | The number of firmware resource entries in the | |
Resource | ESRT. Must not be zero. | |||
Count | ||||
Firmware | 4 | 4 | The maximum number of resource array entries that | |
Resource | can be added without reallocating the table. Must be | |||
Maximum | greater than or equal to Firmware Resource Count. | |||
Firmware | 8 | 8 | The firmware resource entry version. This value | |
Resource | should be set to 1. | |||
Version | ||||
Firmware | Firmware Resource Entry 0 | |||
Resource | ||||
Entry Array | ||||
Firmware | 16 | 16 | A GUID that identifies a firmware component that | |
Class | can be updated via update capsule. This GUID will | |||
be passed into the UEFI update capsule run-time | ||||
service as the update capsule header's CapsuleGuid | ||||
parameter during update. | ||||
Firmware | 4 | 32 | One of the following values that identifies the type of | |
Type | firmware resource: | |||
0: Unknown | ||||
1: System firmware | ||||
2: Device firmware | ||||
3: UEFI driver | ||||
Firmware | 4 | 36 | The current firmware version, where a larger number | |
Version | represents a newer release. The format of this value is | |||
not defined, but should incorporate version major and | ||||
minor numbers. The recommended format is first | ||||
word is major and second word is minor version | ||||
numbers. | ||||
Lowest | 4 | 40 | The lowest firmware resource version to which a | |
Supported | firmware resource can be rolled back for the given | |||
Firmware | system/device. If a security related fix is available in | |||
Version | this firmware version, then the least compatible | |||
version should be equal to the current firmware | ||||
version. | ||||
Capsule | 4 | 44 | Flags that will be passed into the UEFI update capsule | |
Flags | run-time service in bits 0-15 of the update capsule | |||
header's Flags field (the OS is responsible to | ||||
configure bits 16-31 of Flags as defined by section | ||||
7.5.3 of the UEFI specification). | ||||
Last | 4 | 48 | The last firmware version for which an update was | |
Attempt | attempted. This value uses the same format as | |||
Version | Firmware Version. | |||
Last | 4 | 52 | One of the following values that describes the status | |
Attempt | of the last firmware update attempt: | |||
Status | 0: Success | |||
1: Unsuccessful | ||||
2: Insufficient resources | ||||
3: Incorrect version | ||||
4: Invalid image format | ||||
5: Authentication error | ||||
6: Power event - AC not connected | ||||
7: Power event - Insufficient battery | ||||
